THROUGH THE STATE.

When train No. col arrived from Par
kerSburg last Tuesday night a tramp was
observed Juggling away at something under
the baggage ear. On investigation 1t
proved 10 he a hammock. He had tied II

from Cincinnati to that point. After I'M
tying it he folded it up and put it in his
pocket, and, like the Arab, stole silently
away.
John Young, q farmer on the Ohio side,
near ParkerSburg, Monday night, was re-
turning home through the woods, and in

horrible cash. The man was impaled for
several minutes before he was able to ex-
tTicate himself.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE INTER
STATE COMMERCE. COMMISSION.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE INTER-
STATE COMMERCE. COMMISSION.
President CLEVELAND is certainly emit
tied to the sympathies of his people in his
efforts to fathom the meaning of the Inter
State Commerce law and appoint suitable
men for the commission. His work seems
as difficult as ~unraveling the riddle Of the
Sphinx or the mysteries of the Delphic or
acles. He has sought the services Of the
Oldest and most upright men of the nation
for commissioners, but as yet, so far Us Is
known, has not been able osecure the requi-
site number to undertake the task. Here
is something from the Philadelphia Ledger
that gives an idea of the situation:
The President is disappointed at the
failure of prominent men in the country to
assist him in the enforcement of the Inter
State Commerce Act. At least a dozen OF
those who have been asked have declined,
and he will be compelled to take the best
timber he can get. He has written and
urged and even imploTed those whom he
believed were best fitted for the duty to
accept positions on the Commission, and
their refusal to do so has caused delay IN
making appointments. 4 gentleman who
is very near the President said TO ne, this
morning that he was lying awake nights
thinking of means that might be used
to induce good men to accept the
positions on the Commission. He
has three considerations in his
mind: First to distribute the appoint
ments geographically, so that all portions
of the country shall be properly represent
ed: second, to select men who will COM
mand the confidence of the public as we'll
- the railroads, men of broad views, lib
eral ideas and judicial minds; and third,
To avoid politics. The President considers the
Commission the most pOlCegtUi political engine
that has erer been created in this country; at
least in the control of bad men he believes it
could be made so. To keep the Commits
sion out of politics, to prevent any inter
ference with political movements, he
thinks is necessary, and to- accomplish that
T he must select men who are above
partisan influences"

WITH the ProhibitiOniStS on one hand
saying that We should not drink heer,
whisky OF wine, and the scientists on the
other hand saying that it is unsafe To drink
water. times are becoming rather uncom-
Portable. A scientist, DIR. PRUDDER, has
Just lectured at the New York Academy of
Medicine, and says that in a single glass
Of iced water there are from $1,000 to 80
600 living bacteria. All water, he said, was
full of baeteria, yet many species ofbacteria
were harmless. Some were even useful to
the bOdy's growth and development
Water that had but fifty bacteria in it to
each cubic centimetre could be taken with
impunity. With more than fifty to the
cubic eentimetre, it was dangerous, unless
filtered. 1t WAS the same way with ice.
A small piece of clear ice might hold a
million and a half of fever bacteria, with
out ones suSpecting il in the least. Freez-
ing did kill of a great number of bacteria,
especially of the more harmless sort. But
one cubic centimeire of ice frozen for sew
enty-seven days had still =, of typhoid
fever germs alive in it.
If a choice between getting yellow
fever and Bright's disease is presented, it

there is more fun in getting Bright's dis
ease because it IS longer coming and stays

some sections are very sore over the re-
cent decision Of the Supreme Court of the

true of Virginia. \ Virginia journal says.
at throws wide the gates of every city,
town and village in Virginia ind Other
States to q ruinOus competition on unequal
terms between home merchants and man
ufacturers, who are heavily taxed to sup,
port the State government, and a horde o
foreign drummers, who contribute nothing
to the States revenues, but who are pro
tected in life, liberty and property at the
expense of the men whose trade they de,
spoil. 1t goes without saying that in such
an unfair contest the home merchantmu
succumb.'
Unless the tax on home drummers is re
pealed in States that impose such tax, il
will give foreign drummers the advantage
The remedy lies in repeating the local tax.
